      We rode Debacle last weekend which is always a challenge. How on earth is Debacle just a black trail. I know On Your Mark has some big features, but if there are a hundred people who clean On Your Mark, maybe 2 of them would be able to clean Debacle ... if any. Never has there been a trail which is more deserving of being called a red trail.

      This trail is for psychopaths. Do not ride.

      Tons of technical challenges and optional tech lines. We rode it a little wet so it seemed harder but overall a great tech trail that was challenging and had some fun sections to session.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
